Life. It [Continues]

This week is going by so fast already. I can't believe it's been three days since I helped out at the Westampton Egg Hunt with mom. The one thing about that day was it was muddy. I had to hide eggs in between hunts in the field area behind Holly Hills school and my jeans and shoes got all covered in mud and dirt. Otherwise, that day was great. I came out and spent some time on the trampoline. This was Saturday so tomorrow would be Easter. Going back a little further, I had off of gymnastics and school on Good Friday so I spent the time relaxing. We didn't go to church when we should have. Instead we spent that night at the mall. The idea was to get a picture with the Easter Bunny but Riley wasn't liking it. She was petrified of the bunny and refused to go near. So, we backed out. The line was long anyway. Rachel had a friend with her so they went off aroundt the mall while I stayed with the family and went all the places I wanted to go.
Sunday was Easter. March 27. It definately was early this year. After getting our baskets in the morning like usual, mom did an egg hunt in the back room area for us to find eggs with "special" tickets inside for different things. I liked that. It was the second time we had one as a family on easter morning. I want to continue it every year. Like always, we went to church. Dad ran out to Dunkin Donuts and got me a donought and him a coffee because that was what we had given up for Lent. It felt really good eating donoughts again. No I'm not a fatty.
Church was church. The pictures were the pictures. Grandmom was grandmom. It was just like it should have been. Aunt Jenna's house was where we were off to next. After taking the ham out of the oven at home we left for that. I spent that half hour at home on the trampoline...in my nice church clothes. :)
We had the egg hunt there like normal, inside this year again. I found the least amount of eggs believe it or not but I have a good excuse. I was holding back. I saw a lot of eggs but was unaware of the no-limit-to-the-amount-of-eggs-you-can-find rule. Oh well. Stunk for me. I only got 7 eggs. (I had some help on those too)
From Aunt Jenna's we went to Nana's and we took grandma with us. It was fun... Definately fun. There are always many good laughs at Nana's house. I look forward to those times. So this was a real busy Easter but a good one none the less. Dad had off work monday (yesterday) and it was put to a day of cleaning. I really don't like these days even though they have to be done. The house was a complete wreck. Everything was pulled out to sort for yardsale and that is the all time worst. I strongly dislike going through stuff for yardsale. It's harder than it sounds but it got done...sort of. Well ok, actually I did squat. But I tried. I made a conscious effort to go through some stuff but it just didn't work. (I found my old Pokemon cards in the garage and had some short-lived fun playing with them again)
Today was not a day of cleaning. Today we went to Seaside. (That was after we got out of Tarnsfield which took forever because Rachel kept wanting to stop home for stuff she forgot...)I couldn't have been happier none-the-less. I really want to eventually get a house, apartment, living quarter, or whatever it takes to live at Seaside when I get older. I find myself more and more attached to that place every time we go down. Today was no exception even though it didn't quite feel like the Seaside I know. Basically, it was cold, cloudy, and empty. The complete opposite of Seaside in the summer. We walked the boardwalk, stopped for pizza, went on the beach, the whole deal. The best though was going into Lucky Leo's.(aka my future employment) It felt muy bueno to be around the animal machines and hear the sounds of the cranes again. That's what I miss the most....all the sensory objects that I have come to associate with summer. The sounds, the smells, and the memories are what make Seaside my favorite place to vacation. I am eager to go back this summer. I don't know what kind of summer it would be if we didn't go.
Riding home from Seaside it was around 5:00 so I missed gymnastics. Rachel finished watching Scary Movie 3 on the portable DVD player which we brought along then passed it on to Riley to watch Monster's Inc.

So what more can I say? These past 5 days (including today) have been wonderful. Tomorrow I have to watch Riley in the morning while mom goes off to work. Not too thrilled about that but I'm not one to complain. Reid's over his second family. Rachel's home for the first time all week. I'm ready to go vote for an American Idol and go to bed. It's been a long day. 5 days of break down and I'm not even going to figure out how many days are left but I assume it's around 5. I don't want to think about school for some time even though it will come back to hit me if I don't get started on this homework soon. There's always a tomorrow...
